Chapter 304: Exposing the Main Attack Point

At this time, the city was in chaos, and the officers and soldiers risked their lives to fight back with sharp arrows and flying stones, some with bows and arrows, some with wooden rolling stones, and some were busy operating trebuchets.

But what shocked Chang Yu was that the thief army had already landed in the city and was fighting hand-to-hand with the officers and soldiers!

This is definitely a surprise to Chang Yu, you must know that the day before yesterday, Li Zicheng took the south gate as the main attack point, and attacked the same storm, but in the end he didn't even touch the battlements, but at this time, the thief army here had already entered the city.

Thus! The combat power of the thief army here is too great!

To put it simply, the thieves here are by no means the cannon fodder he deduced before, but the main force, even Li Zicheng's elite!

Although there is no artillery in Xicheng, other offensive and defensive weapons are readily available, and even there are a lot of troops, and the thief army can actually land in the city in such a short time, this combat power has explained everything.

Damn, play with this hand! Chang Yu felt that he was being put on a stand by Li Zicheng, he was a little annoyed and angry, scolded angrily, drew his knife and threw himself directly on the battlement, and slashed at a thief army who had just climbed the city wall.

With a scream, half of the thief army's head was split, and the plasma sprayed Chang Yu's face......

Seeing Chang Yu like this, Tu Yuan and the others naturally didn't need to talk any more nonsense, and led the subordinates who had successively entered the city to immediately seize the forefront and start hand-to-hand combat with those thieves who had landed in the city.

The city was already crowded, and the scene became bloody and cruel when more than 1,000 people were added at once.

Chang Yu slashed and killed more than ten people in a row, took a breather, looked around, and saw that the melee was fierce, although the officers and soldiers killed the enemy bravely, but the thieves were pouring up in a steady stream, and the dense flying arrows and rocks under the city caused a lot of casualties.

It's messy, it's so messy! Chang Yu's heart is like fire, although the combat power of this thief army is off the charts, but the officers and soldiers rely on the defense of the city wall to make the enemy attack so quickly, and they have a big problem!

That is, the command was too chaotic, and when the thief army attacked the city, both the archers and the throwing men of the rolling stone and wood rushed towards the battlements, and as a result, they were crowded together, and for a time the arrows of the archers did not shoot out, and the rolling stone and wood did not fall down......

It's a mess, and there is no tacit understanding with it, this is the biggest criticism! Zhu Kongxun's team is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, why is it so unbearable!

Chang Yu scolded secretly in his heart, and shouted casually: "What about Zhu Kongxun? ”

"Your Excellency, General Zhu is on the side of Fuchengmen...... someone next to him replied loudly.

Exercise! Chang Yu was furious, and slashed a thief who climbed the city with a knife, and roared with his big hand: "Listen to Lao Tzu's command, the archers will retreat and launch, and the delivery hand will seize the battlement and pour oil down, Tu Yuan, Tie Zhu will lead your men to resist those thieves who have climbed the city......"

With Chang Yu's orders conveyed one by one, the chaos in the city was effectively contained, although the fighting was still fierce, but the officers and soldiers were not as panicked as before.

The archers have already lined up against the inner city wall to shoot arrows with bows and arrows, and they don't need to aim in the dark night anyway, the city is full of black and oppressive thieves, just shoot down.

As for the delivery hands, they had already seized the battlements, and they cooperated and threw the rolling stone and wood oil.

And those thieves who have already landed or will enter the city are handed over to the personal guards led by Tu Yuan and Tie Zhu to fight hard.

Effective organization, targeted strikes, soon the situation began to reverse, the offensive of the thief army was gradually suppressed, the thief army landed in the city less and less, and the number of those who had boarded became less and less.

And at this moment, Chang Yu was not idle, waving his knife along the battlements all the way to the north, as long as there were thieves landing in the city, it would be a slash.

During this period, he was also in danger, with several arrows in his body, and it was okay to rely on the thick armor of the mountain, but he was hit by a few stones and felt a faint pain, and the most thrilling one was almost hit by a cannonball.

This frightened Hu Ling, who had been following Chang Yu closely with a few guards, and tried to drag him from the city wall several times, but Chang Yu kicked him away, and the little eunuch had already killed the red eye.

All the way to the north, all the places passed were the figures of officers and soldiers bravely defending the city, Chang Yu shuttled through the crowd for a while, and soon met Zhu Kongxun who was commanding not far from Fuchengmen.

If there is really a place under the command of the main general, it is different, compared to the Zhenwumen side, the situation here is not too bad, at least there is no sign of the thief army landing in the city, and the thief army on the side of Fuchengmen has not arranged artillery.

"Zhu Kongxun, are you a special pig? Zhenwu Gate is about to be lost, you are actually watching a play here! As soon as Chang Yu saw Zhu Kongxun, he immediately scolded!

"Ah, Master Factory!" When Zhu Kongxun heard this, his face turned pale and he was frightened: "I ...... here before"

"Get out of here!" Chang Yu shouted angrily!

Zhu Kongxun didn't say much, and immediately took his own soldiers and went straight to Zhenwu Gate.

Chang Yu's anger did not subside, he snatched a hard bow from a soldier next to him, and fired more than ten bows at the city, and suddenly saw the fire under the south of the city, shining half of the night sky, knowing that Zhenwumen had lit the fire oil under the city.

Fire, whether it is offensive or defensive, is a big killer weapon if it is used well!

It's enough to drink a pot, Chang Yu looked at the thieves who were scattered under the firelight outside the city of Zhenwu Gate, and his face was cold.

Then he looked due north, and there was also a sound of killing, and occasionally heard the sound of artillery, but seeing the density of rockets in the air, he knew that the offensive was not strong, and there was no warning signal over there, so it can be seen that the thieves really did not take that side as the main attack point.

He turned around and looked due east and south, and the sky was full of rockets, like a Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks show, but there was no joy under this fireworks, only the fear and horror of the people in the city.

"Factory Father!" At this time, Hu Ling suddenly roared, raised his hand and pointed due south, only to see a fire burning in the southwest corner tower.

This is a warning sign!

, this group is so tough! Chang Yu's heart sank, and he pulled his legs and ran over there.

"My lord" A guard next to him shouted again, stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and a fire also ignited on the side of Yichun Gate!

Call! Chang Yu gritted his teeth, and the thieves had a showdown, and the main points of attack were the southeast Yichun Gate and the southwest Zhenwu Gate.

The only ten artillery pieces in Taiyuan City are arranged on the southeast corner of the city wall, which can defend the positions on both sides of the southeast, and the strike strength should not be underestimated in the case of firepower, but even if it is arranged in this way, Yichun Gate has issued an alarm, and there is no doubt that the thieves have also made a bloody investment there.

At the same time, there were police signals from the two gates, which had to make Chang Yu feel a little panicked, but he was not at a loss, Yichun Gate was in charge of the time, and Zhou Yuji was on the side, and he saw that the police signal over there would go to support.

Only the Zhenwu Gate in front of him, the main attack point that was denied by Chang Yu at the beginning, was stabbed by the thief in the opposite way, and it was in danger at this time.

The tower of Zhenwu Gate has been half destroyed by the artillery of the thief army, but fortunately it did not catch fire, and even the rocks and huge trees all over the ground were smashed down by the officers and soldiers.

"My lord, the thief army has entered the city from the southwest corner!" Zhu Kongxun's face was covered with blood, and he panted.

Chang Yu snorted, raised his eyes, there was a fierce fight on the south side of the city tower, and some thieves landed in the city, and the dense thief army outside the city wall was climbing the ladder, and the raging fire below did not stop their offensive, these thieves were really cruel, and they were so vicious to themselves.

In addition to the section of the west city, there is also a section of the south city at the corner of the city wall, the attack of the thief army is also fierce, and many thieves have already landed in the city and are in close contact with the officers and soldiers.

Some people must be curious, the city gate is supposed to be the weakest place, why the thief army did not concentrate their fire on the city gate, but turned their head and stormed the frozen outer wall.

You must know that there is a lake under the southeast corner wall of Taiyuan City, and when Chang Yu took water to seal the city, he not only froze the southern city, but also sealed this section of the western city.

In fact, very few of the besieging sides in the past and present have directly attacked the city gate, and most of them have attacked the city wall first and then opened the city gate to enter.

There are many reasons for this, but there are only a few main ones, one is that the weakest place is usually the most tightly defended! Second, the city gate is so big, and the fire will be concentrated on the enemy's corpses and gate cars in the blink of an eye, and the gate gate will become an obstacle to block the city gate, and this obstacle will become bigger and bigger with the enemy's attack.

Of course, the city gates that are generally not the main passages will be sealed, for example, at this time, Zhenwu Gate Chang Yu has ordered it to be sealed in the afternoon.

In addition, some castles are directly connected to the city gate by the suspension bridge through the moat, and the gate can only be opened after the mountain wall is cut off......

Therefore, the attackers usually skip the main siege gate and concentrate their firepower on the city!

At this time, even in the face of the frozen city walls, the thief army still chose to ascend the city.

After the city wall is frozen, it becomes smooth as a mirror, it is not easy for the thief army to rely on the ladder, and there are few ladders that are equal to the height of the city wall, there will be a gap in how much, and the last point of distance still needs to be climbed by hands and feet, so smooth is also extremely difficult, but at this time the thief army climbed up hard, I can't help but say that it is really ruthless!

And the thief army chose the southwest corner to climb the city is also considered, each corner of Taiyuan City has a corner tower built on weekdays as a reserve of military resources and lookout, but in wartime it is also relatively weak because of the special terrain here, because the corner tower has increased the height of the city wall, but due to space constraints, too many troops can not be arranged.

Chang Yu wiped his forehead, and he didn't know if it was blood or sweat, anyway, it was slimy, and said to Zhu Kong: "Your people are pressing this side, if you can't hold it down, you can jump down by yourself!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he shouted at Tu Yuan in the distance: "Go to the southwest corner and press Lao Tzu there......"
